Engaging Travel Photographs

Not Eye Glazing, But Engaging Travel Photographs

• Never more than 40 photos
• Automatic Presentations Are Mercifully Limited To Three Minutes Or Less
• Rarely A Picture Of Me Or My Wife – We Are Not The Topic
  

  

My vacation photos have precious few, if any pictures of Susan or myself.
I hate looking at hundreds of humdrum photos of someone’s trip, 70% of which are duplicates of a previous photo.
These travel shots try to capture the essence of place, which  is NOT multiple pictures of Susan or me, in just a couple of minutes.

  Cape Cod Off The Bicycle

  • 4 Great Cape Cod Bicycle Rides
    Our bicycle club used to go riding on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard every year. Whether you bicycle not, it is a beautiful spot to vacation. This link will open a new tab and take you to my other website The Bicycle Site. Just close the tab when you are finished. Do not click, Home or Back to get back here.

• Colorado 2018

Garden of the Gods, Rocky Mountain National Park & Environs. The US and State parks and monuments have some of the most stunning and unusual scenery in the world

• China 2005
  

  So vastly different that traveling through Europe or South & Latin America. The culture is not western and opened our eyes to a whole new perspective of the world. More on my China Blog Post

• Iceland 2019

  • The best thing I can say about this, is to quote a fellow traveller. “Were we on the same trip? I am not even going to post my photos. I will use yours.”
  • Simultaneously stark and beautiful.
  • Mountains, fjords, the largest glacier in Europe and a thoroughly unpronounceable language
  • Some movies and tv shows filmed in Iceland include, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, James Bond: Die Another Day & A View to Kill, Game of Thrones – seasons 2 – 7 & Vikings – season 5

• India 2012

  • Another country vastly different than the U.S.A.  Wealth, Middle Glass and some the worst Poverty I have ever seen, side by side.
  • Lots of great street scene photography
  • Many forts, castles and temples from India’s rich history.

• Israel 2007

A fascinating country.  So many religions and former empires consider it important and part of their heritage.

• Russia 2007

  One of our employees told us, if we go to Russia, do not take a land trip. At that time, the country was just set up to handle land tours. We took a river cruise along the Volga, from Moscow to St. Petersburg, stopping at quaint and not so quaint cities and heritage site along the way

• Turkey 2004

  • Turkey has been inhabited for thousands of years, by well over a dozen civilizations.  Among them were  Trojans, Persians, Romans and Byzantines.  Our tour through western Turkey touched on much of this.   The multitude of ruins seems to go on forever.
